IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER
Have you played a MONO source--you need to do this to see if it, whatever the content, is centered or not. If that's not centered and you switch the source channels and then switch the amp/preamp channels, as well as the speakers that you mentione... 
2 systems in one
The danger is, of course, turning both amps on at the same time by mistake. I'm not really sure what would happen but I would guess the speakers would be toast and maybe the amps. Two amps, two sets of cables, connecting/disconnecting one at a tim... 
Will a Full Page Ad Guarantee a Review?
No conspiricy theory necessary. If you believe everything you read and make your purchases accordingly and think everything is on the up and up, more power to you. 
Will a Full Page Ad Guarantee a Review?
Mags have to 'negotiate' with companies to get items to review. Even though the mag may be making lots of money, it never (almost never, whatever) thinks to go out and BUY a piece of equipment to review. No....too much of an expense. In what do th... 
MY BEST DEAL

Recommendations on a passive preamp
If you can find a Mod Squad Line Drive deluxe on the 'gon it would be worth considering also....

If you are in Canada, I wouldn't recommend it. 
Is my Amp+preAmp a good product
Maybe other people have heard of this brand. Not me. There must be a story behind your purchase, given the hundreds of well-known (to audiophiles) brands at your fingertips (esp right here on the gon). Good luck with it. 
do you remember
A record store in Portland (Music on Records?) had a pair of Quads set up. Don't remember any other details, but have never forgotten it. (still haven't bought quads for myself, but they're always on my list). This was end of the fifties or very e... 
Tucson/Phoenix area: Audible Illusions techn work?
As odd as it will sound, Tucson TV (something like that) in the shopping center at 4500 E Speedway would be worth asking. THey are obvioulsy not a high-end shop, but they fixed (an easy problem with) my Halfer Transnova amp and also fixed a wiring... 
Mods and accessories
